The Toronto Raptors are road warriors.
For all the hype that went into the team’s return to Scotiabank Arena, it’s their games back in the good ol’ United States where they’re finding more success. The Raptors are 2-6 at home and 5-1 on the road.
Raptors opponents shoot considerably worse when Toronto’s the visitor (43.6%, which would rank 24th) than when games are played in Canada (47.6%, only the Phoenix Suns shoot a better percentage). That may be a case of a small sample size, especially since that hasn’t been the case for the Raptors while Nick Nurse has been Head Coach, but the gap between the percentages is still noteworthy.
